EN/CN│Teleférico Kurodake, Zoológico de Asahiyama, com Ramen 1D Bus│Hokkaido

We paid a significant amount for this tour, but unfortunately, we were only able to spend 2 hours at the zoo due to the closure of the ropeway caused by the weather. It's important to note that the tour price, which was booked through Klook, was supposed to include admission to both the ropeway and the zoo. Despite the circumstances being beyond the control of the tour operator, I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't get the full value for what we paid.

The guide was very kind and helpful. They made sure to pick everyone up and that everyone was on time. The transport was a large bus with only a small group.

It was great! Although the travel time was long, this is one of the few tours from Sapporo that goes to the Kurodake Ropeway. Our guide, Gao Ge, was very responsible, always reminding everyone about the time and offering introductions and suggestions on how to plan our day. Kurodake is truly beautiful and highly recommended.

I originally wanted to see the autumn leaves, but I didn't realize that by the time I came, it was already the end of the season 😅. However, the continuous stretch of mountains was still a beautiful sight. The zoo visit combined with mealtime felt a bit rushed, but it was very convenient not having to drive ourselves. I thought there would only be English and Japanese guided tours, so it was a pleasant surprise that the director spoke Chinese, which was really great ☺️

We had a wonderful time and appreciate the effort put into the itinerary. Our primary piece of feedback is regarding the timing: we felt the tour was overly rushed, particularly at the zoo and Asahidake, which we would have liked to explore further. To improve the experience, we suggest removing the Sake stop to allocate more substantial time to the zoo and ropeway.

Very nice tour guide, with explanations in both Chinese and English. It's a pity we missed the autumn leaves, but the scenery is naturally beautiful.
